**Attention Vienna Families!! There are math resources available for your child. Please see the flyer and discuss this with your child's teacher during parent conferences on Monday, October 7, 2024.** Please note: Dorchester County Public Schools are closed on Monday, October 7, for parent-teacher conferences.

Get ready for an exciting week ahead because our amazing cafeteria ladies, Mrs. Katie Harrington and Mrs. Lea Wallace, have just announced that it's "Farm to School " week. This Friday, one lucky Vienna student will have the chance to win the beautiful pumpkin displayed on the table. Mrs. Harrington will draw a name from every student, giving everyone a chance to win! Let's support our local farmers by enjoying delicious fruits and vegetables. Remember, don't yuck someone's yum!

Ms. Perry and Mrs. Cole have transformed their classroom into a positive and empowering space! These excellent 3rd-grade teachers use the Affirmation Station, a mirror surrounded by positive statements, to reinforce positive self-talk and boost self-esteem. It's an incredible tool to gauge the students' daily emotional well-being and boost their confidence. Thank you, Ms. Perry and Mrs. Cole, for always finding new approaches to uplift and motivate the students to believe in themselves.

Dear Vienna Families, Our students need to read for one hour each day in four 15-minute sessions. Every 15 minutes of reading is considered one "step."At school, two steps (15 minutes + 15 minutes) will be accomplished each day. Two more steps (15 minutes + 15 minutes) must be accomplished at home. We need you to be the "Home Reading Coach for your learner"! Starting Wednesday, September 25th your child will bring home books and a log sheet every night. The books being brought home are on your child's independent reading level and have been selected by the reader. Home Reading Coach, please read with the students for 30 minutes and sign two steps in their reading log every night. Thank you for being so helpful in growing readers who read, read, read, and love it!
